AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
The Americans with Disabilities Act and it’s Amendments (ADAAA) require the provision of "reasonable accommodations" to those qualified individuals with disabilities by providing equal, non-discriminatory program access in the academic setting.
Students need to take the verifying documentation to the Dean of Students Office, where it will be kept confidential and private to the extent possible. In most cases, verifying documents can be obtained from doctors, licensed psychologists or other professionals licensed to determine the existence, severity of, and characteristics of the disability or disabilities. This documentation should include the functional impact of the disability or disabilities. It is the student's responsibility to request documentation from such professionals, and to request a record of accommodations received at any other educational institution. Appropriate documentation for learning disabilities should be provided. If accommodations are needed by the student, the student should provide the information and documentation in a reasonably early manner after admission to allow time for the development and arrangement of appropriate accommodations. In some cases, as when books on tape or sign language interpreters need to be requested, documentation should be provided several weeks prior to the beginning of the semester so accommodation arrangements can be made in a timely manner. A copy of Southwestern Oklahoma State University's documentation guidelines are on the Dean of Students’ website or office, room 214, Gen. Thomas P. Stafford Center, (580) 774-3767.
Please note: Students should be admitted to SWOSU before seeking accommodations from the Dean of Students.

GUARANTEED TUITION RATE PROGRAM The Bursar’s Office coordinates, monitors, and records tuition payments including the guaranteed tuition rate program established with the start of the 2008-2009 academic year. This will allow students to guarantee their tuition rate for four years. If a student chooses to participate in the guaranteed tuition rate program, tuition (excluding fees) will be guaranteed for four years at 115% of the current tuition rate at the time of initial enrollment. The program is only available to full-time, undergraduate students entering college for the first time. Students must be enrolled full- time each fall and spring semester at SWOSU for four years to remain in the guaranteed tuition rate program. If a student qualifies for a tuition scholarship, the scholarship will be calculated at the regular or non- guaranteed tuition rate. The student will be responsible for the balance of tuition and fees. Examples are available in the Bursar’s Office, Admissions and Recruitment Office, and the Registrar’s Office that may assist a student to determine if this program will benefit them. Students choosing to participate in the guaranteed tuition rate program should understand that they could possibly pay more in tuition in some cases (e.g., if at some point within the four-year guaranteed period they stop attending, drop below full-time enrollment, transfer to/from another institution, or if they are later admitted into the College of Pharmacy). Pre-Pharmacy majors who choose to participate in the program will not be able to continue with the guaranteed tuition rate upon admittance into the College of Pharmacy. However, in most cases, students who choose to lock in their tuition rate, continue their undergraduate fulltime enrollment and progress satisfactorily to graduate with a degree in four years may pay less in tuition than if they did not lock in their tuition rate. The program is only available to undergraduate students. If a student chooses to participate in the guaranteed tuition rate program, they must return the completed form prior to enrollment. This form must be signed and documented in the Registrar’s Office prior to enrolling or attending one of the designated New Student Orientation sessions. Students may return this form as they register on the morning of the New Student Orientation session they choose to attend.
